"MAKE IT TILL YOU FAIL IT!"
Failing is a form of resistance, with a liberating force.
The "Failed-Eggs" project was hatched from an egg I accidentally misboiled, from which a mesmerising “egg white flower” oozed out. Searching online for existing communities that appreciate such beauty, I was astonished to find none, despite billions of eggs being consumed daily worldwide. All I could find was advice on avoiding this “failure”.
What is often too hastily labelled “failure” from a utilitarian and overly simplistic binary view, might actually signify autonomy or the beginning of a revolution. Transcending their physicality, these "Failed-Eggs" manifest possibilities and alternative ways of being. From this perspective, “failure” is a form of success — Successfully defied societal and internalised external expectations.
The fact that these once-labeled "failed" eggs, which were considered broken according to all cooking guides, are now developed into an exhibition is one of the living examples.
This project on display at my first solo exhibiton "MAKE IT TILL YOU FAIL IT!" comprises part of “Failed-Eggs” created since 2021, and each of them has violated at least one guideline for boiling a “perfect egg”.
